Lexi Thompson: Making PGA Tour cut would be 'amazing,' but not everything
LAS VEGAS -- Lexi Thompson didn't hesitate when informed that she had been invited to play in this week's Shriners Children's Open, where she will become only the seventh woman to compete on the PGA Tour.
Those records have since been broken and while she won't be the first woman to compete on the PGA Tour, Thompson will join a small and illustrious group at this week's Shriners Children's Open when she tees off at 4:19 ET on Thursday in a group alongside Kevin Roy and Trevor Werbylo. That's why Thompson is embracing the challenge this week, despite knowing there are some people who don't agree with the invitation she was given. She was asked about the comments made last week by Peter Malnati, who retracted after calling Thompson's inclusion in the tournament a"gimmick."
Thompson said she has been hitting hundreds of golf balls per day to hone in the swing fix, and has enjoyed easily her best golf of 2023 entering this week.
